SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,486, dated December 16, 1884.

Application filcll March i, 1884.

[ (tZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJIMAN F. Mvnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ti'tfin, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Drums, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to heaters to be used with stoves, which are so constructed as to be attachable or detachable, to suit the convenience and needs of the user.

My object is to provide a receptacle beneath an ordinary heating-stove, into and through which the heat emanating from the products of combustion may be passedat pleasure, for the purpose of heating the air of a room as near the floor as possible, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my invention connected to a stove; and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of a part of the two pipes which convey the pro- 5 ducts of combustion and change their course, as will be set forth. Fig. 8 is a perspccti ve view of the drum detached.

In the figures, A represents an ordinary heatingstove, eitheri'or wood or coal, which rests upon a base, 13, mounted upon suitable legs;

0 represents a heat receptacle, which is made of convenient size and shape,and located beneath the stove when in use. This receptacle is provided with a partition which runs from one end to a point near the other, as represented by d, Fig. 1, in dotted lines.

I) 1) represent two pipes, which lead from the receptacle 1%, one passing up from one side and the other from the opposite side of the partition (Z. The upper ends ofthesepipes are provided with a hood, E, having an orifice which connects with the ordinary smoke-pipe of the stove. The hood E centrally divided by a vertical partition, F, which has a laterally-extending top,f, to prevent the products from passing directly from one of the pipes, D, of the receptacle to the smoke-pipe.

a and c are elbows which connect the stove to the hood F.

n represents a damper operated by the rod 0, and which is situated in the hood.

(No model.)

at is a door at one end of the receptacle and admits of its being cleaned of soot or ashes, and is provided with a register.

The operation of this appliance is as follows: \Vhen the fire is first made and a direct draft is desired, the damper n is turned down so that it closes the mouth of pipe D. The products of combustion are then prevented from passing through the receptacle 0. After the fire has been well started the damper is thrown up, so that it closes the passage of the products on one side of the partition l and causes them to descend through pipe D to the receptacle 0; thence they pass around the end of partition (I, and thence up pipe D, directly to the smoke-pipe. Thus it will be seen that the heat from the products may be thrown into and passed through the receptacle close to the floor, where the air is always coolest. hen not needed, this contrivance is readily re.- moved, and the ordinary smoke 'iipe attached or connected to the elbow c.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a stove with a base heating attachment con sisting of a pipe leading downward from the smoke escape of the stove anda under the same, thence returning upward to the chimney, passing the smoke-escape, the said return-pipe being also provided with a smokeconnection and a damper.

My invention differs from the foregoing in providing a partitioned box to be placed under the stove and a partitioned hood connected with the si'noke-escape. The hood is provided with a damper, and the divisions thereof are independently connected to the respective divisions of the base. Further, the base is provided with a door containing a register, for the purpose of cleaning and admitting a draft. I

Having thus full y described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A. heating attachment for stoves, consisting of a shallow box which is partitioned into two communicating compartments, two upright pipes leading from the said compartments, and a partitioned hood on top the said pipes, the divisions of said hood having co1nmon connection to the smoke-escape of the stove, and one division only being provided with a damper and communicating with a chimney, substantinll y as and for the purpose I only being provided with it damper and 00111- speoified. inunicating with a chimney, substantially as 2.
